Lara and Roger Griffiths

Before winning the lottery, Lara and Roger Griffiths had a stress free marriage. They reportedly never even fought or argued. In 2005, the couple won a $2.76 million lottery jackpot! After winning, the couple bought a million-dollar barn converted house in England. They also bought a Porsche and took lavish vacations to places such as Dubai and New York City.

According to multiple media reports, they lost their fortune in 2010. A fire destroyed their house, which was sadly uninsured. They were forced to pay for the repairs and seven months of temporary housing. Shortly after, Lara confronted Roger about emails suggesting he might be interested in another woman, claimed to suggest he then drove away in the Porsche. What a way to end a 14-year marriage.
